Stay Positive Posted 17 October 2011 Posted 17 October 2011 Let's try and limit this to artists who probably WOULDN'T be able to headline the outdoor stage of Summer Sundae (a few well known artists were mentioned in the other threads, not unreasonably, but I'm after obscurity really - hidden gems, if you like. Otherwise, if we're going by the "man on the street" criterion, I would have listed practically all of Tom Waits output from 1973 onwards in these threads, and he's in the rock 'n' roll hall of fame!) 1) Adorable - Against Perfection 2) Spirit Of The West - Go Figure 3) Tiger - We Are Puppets 4) The Blue Aeroplanes - Swagger 5) Foil - Spread It All Around 6) The Pale - Here's One We Made Earlier 7) The Stairs - Mexican R & B 8) Cud - Asquarius 9) A House - I Am The Greatest 10) Bonnie "Prince" Billy - I See A Darkness On the other hand, going by the "man on the street" context, some great lesser known albums by artists who probably COULD headline Summer Sundae (not in order) 1) Lo-Fidelity All Stars - How To Operate With A Blown Mind 2) The Longpigs - The Sun is Often Out 3) Bomb The Bass - Unknown Territory 4) The Auteurs - New Wave 5) Future Sound Of London - Lifeforms 6) Wilco - Being There 7) Boards Of Canada - Music Has The Right To Children 8) Neutral Milk Hotel - In The Aeroplane Over The Sea 10) Sultans Of Ping FC - Casual Sex In The Cineplex (not that we'd let a bunch of Forest fans headline...)

Trav Le Bleu Posted 17 October 2011 Posted 17 October 2011 Whats with the "band name first, song title last" business? You never say Elvis doing Jailhouse Rock, you say Jailhouse Rock by Elvis.

You wouldn't go and look in a record shop (remember them?) under "Z" for Ziggy Stardust, would you?
Trav Le Bleu Posted 17 October 2011 Posted 17 October 2011 We're English and therefore put the adjective ahead of the noun Noun ahead adjective is what foreign languages do (quite sensibly, but hey!)

No - I have a vague recollection of them playing there back in the day, but was probably in the period of 3-4 years just after I got married where I decided it was unfair of me to be going off to concerts and buying music because my wife is deaf. Of course, now I know better. It was never what she thought either - just my own sense of warped guilt.
